Many conventional theological views (shown in Col.2.) describe the nature of soul, psyche and spirit in ways which only in the loosest way link to experience. In this ancient traditional way of seeing, neither ‘soul,’ nor spirit are defined in a way which can be recognised, so that they remain theoretical. This makes it difficult to properly understand the activities that ‘emerge’ at the third level, so that there is confused belief without understanding, and incompletely formed faith. Yet it is here first, to quote Palamas again, that: The Word of God came in the flesh, He who for us was made wisdom from God.27 There appeared in the world “that light which gives light to every man who comes into the world" (John 1:9). Now, according to the chief of the Apostles, “the day has dawned, and the morning star has risen in the hearts” (2 Peter 1:19.) of believers … of those people who have a need for a special thread28 that will lead them out of the philosophies and knowledge of the world. This is what will lead them to the knowledge of God. .................. A properly ‘divided’ view of all three ‘levels’ makes it possible to distinguish different groups of activity while understanding the common elements which, for example, make thought, feeling and imagination all parts of psyche. Careful observation reveals that this content of the psyche originates from the past. Clear observation of this also reveals that there is a class of activities which have no clearly observable roots in the past and are therefore attributed to an invisible source. |
